answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department and Health Education England (HEE) are undertaking work to ensure that the National Health Service has the learning disability nurses required to deliver high quality care. This includes ensuring nurses in other fields have opportunities within their competency frameworks to develop their skills further in order to work in learning disability nursing. The Government has offered pre-registration postgraduate learning disability nursing students, who commenced their loan-funded studies in the 2018/19 academic year, a £10,000 incentive payment once they take up employment in the NHS in that field.</p><p>In addition, HEE continues to work with stakeholders across the health and social care sector to raise the profile of learning disability nursing, including working with the university sector to recruit more students onto courses and in partnership with the University and Colleges Admissions Service to run a recruitment campaign during university clearing.</p><p>We recognise that care staff want more specialist training to help them to support the increasingly complex needs of people receiving care and support. We will introduce new specialist ‘cluster modules’ into the Care Certificate, including the development of a new module on learning disability in 2019/20.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 15/07/2019 15:34:11 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2019 answer text <p>The agreement in principle between the Transitional Military Council and the Forces of Freedom and Change, which sets out the plan for the transition to civilian led government in Sudan, is a historic opportunity for the people of Sudan to secure freedom from repression, instability and economic hardship. The UK commends the role of the African Union (AU) and Ethiopia in their efforts to support the mediation that has helped to deliver this agreement. We look forward to it being formally signed. On 5 July the Foreign Secretary welcomed the agreement. This was reiterated by the UK at the UN Human Rights Council on 9 July.</p><p>There is a challenging path ahead. Sudan has faced decades of autocratic rule and peaceful protesters have been killed whilst demonstrating for change. Sudan needs to see swift implementation of the agreement, broad-based reform and economic adjustment, and will require sustained international support.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 16/07/2019 13:33:55 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
